Speech given at the Southwest Portland Rotary Club regarding proposed Portland VA facility

Description

A speech by U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin regarding the proposed Portland Veterans Administration (The "Veterans Administration" is now known as the "U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs") health facility on Marquam Hill and given at the Southwest Portland Rotary Club on March 29, 1980. In his speech, Congressman AuCoin advocated for the proposed Marquam Hill site, and expressed disappointment in the opposition's last minute argument of avoiding the construction of a new VA hospital all together.
